Just a guess here but 2.00 dozen is a low price for fresh eggs and I bet it was your competitors. I talked to a woman yesterday and she gets7.00 dozen and another gal I know gets 6.00 dozen all day long at the open air markets or so she told me. And what Firetigeris said.

I sell them from time to time out of my driveway for 3.50 but I have sold hens to folks that sell them for over 5.00 more and they advertise them as freerange, no hormones etc. and they tell me they never have enough.
